The house is gorgeous and impeccably clean. It has plenty of space to sleep easily 10 people without feeling like you're on top of each other. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you'd need for your stay. Be advised there is a coffee machine, but ground coffee only... no keurig cups. I slept in one of the beds in the loft area. It was fine for a few nights. The porches in the front and back give ample opportunity to feel like you're really part of the woods. There are neighbors but you don't notice them and I'd bet in the summer you wouldn't even seem them. The driveway is long, rocky, and a bit steep. My Ford Focus got up without too much of a fight, but it was raining so that may have made it more difficult. If your car doesn't handle steep unpaved driveways, be ware. Now, there are signs everywhere to remind you not to do just about everything that most responsible people wouldn't do. I get it. The place is beautiful and obviously well loved, but it is a bit unnerving. Although, you do get used to it. But be warned... it's not very welcoming at first. The signs are a bit off putting, then almost humorous because they are everywhere.
Overall it was a great visit with my closest girlfriends filled with laughter, memories, and wine. The house was just the shell to hold us all.... we've been other places where we felt more at home, but if you're looking for a big house in the middle of no where to retreat this could be a good fit. Oh and the wifi is terrible which if you're looking to hide away in the woods, maybe not a big deal.
Liked best:
Being away from it all
Liked least:
The signs everywhere which did not add any warmth, welcoming, or any sense of hospitality.

We have no records in the name of this reviewer, the reviewer may have been in the party of a guest of record, which we have no way of knowing. We realize there are a lot of signs, but each one was/is required because what they state has not been obvious to all guest. We certainly do not intend for the signs to be a cold welcome. They are meant to protect our property and allow us to present the property to incoming guest in the condition as we would expect ourselves. Most of the signs start with the word "Please". We started with all notices and policies in a book, which most guest did not even open. The road leading to the driveway is paved, and the driveway certainly is not rocky, unless small crushed gravel is considered rocks. The driveway is not steep, all that is required once leaving the pavement is a lighter foot on the gas petal to avoid spin out, which we realize most people used to suburban/city driving wouldn't know to consider. We have never had any complaints about the WiFi, although it is DSL, which is all that is available in the remote area. We have streamed movies from Netflix ourselves with no problems. We do appreciate the compliments, but we feel these negative issues need to be addressed for future guest. We do feel the guest of record should have made the review, as we have no way of knowing who this reviewer is or any means to reply to them personally.
